Sep 6, 2007 Draft, many sessions at Norfolk airport 2001-2004. Shiny light copper with a small and mostly lasting head. Aroma is slight, sweetish peppery evergreen. Initial flavor is the same, turning to more dry-bitter, piny hop with a slight sour note on the finish. Palate is light medium, watery, tingly and dryish.

Jun 22, 2006 Thanks to Springslicker (and Aro0) for this one. Clear orange with a decent white head. Toasty, malty aroma. Thin, seltzery body. Notes of bread and pepper. Nice session ale.

Jun 20, 2006 Bottle thanks to Argo0.
Brilliantly clear medium copper with an off-white head that falls quickly.
Dry butterscotch aroma.
Bitterness dominates the early flavor with some sweetness only making it’s appearance near the end of the finish. I would have preferred more dryness when I got sweet, and I got bitterness when I would have liked a touch of sweetness. Not bad despite the issues of unbalance.

Jun 15, 2006 Draught. Clear orange-brown color with thin white head that left some lace. Nice sprucy hop aroma accented by caramel maltiness. Love the smell. Tastes good too with a nice balance between the soft malt and sprucy hops. Very good pale ale.

Jun 12, 2006 Not a bad beer, pouring with an amber color and a decent initial head. Lacing was ok. The aroma was mostly of hops, light caramel. Flavor was of caramel and some bread-like notes with a definite but not overdone hop presence: citrus and some pine. The mouthfeel was full for the style. The more enjoyable of the three beers I had tonight.
